We took her immediately to our specialty vet clinic and they determined that she was not a candidate for surgery. So we had to put her through PT to teach her to spine walk (Spinal walking (SW) occurs when a paralyzed dog with no pain sensation or feeling in their legs learns to walk and stand through reflex.) Luna is doing very well and is also getting Laser and Acupuncture. She will never walk normal but she has learned to walk instead of dragging her back legs. She is a very determined little lady and she deserves a home where they appreciate her wiliness to keep working to strengthen those legs. Our must haves for her are: A fenced in yard Someone home more than not Someone with IVDD experience Another small young dog for her to hang with No apartments, high rises or condos and she needs that fenced yard to get out and continue to strengthen her back leg and when out she is FAST Because of her back issue, please don’t just look at her coloring and want her for that, the adopter will need to have the experience of having a downed dog and knowing how to express a bladder. If you do not have this experience then please do not apply. If you do have the experience and want more info before applying for her you can email her foster mom [email protected] and she’ll be happy to answer any questions that you have. ============== Information for All Dogs/Adopters ============== AADR does not recommend dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a dachshund’s back or get bitten. If you have questions about this dog, please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed on the bio form. They have the most up-to-date information concerning the dog and would be happy to answer any questions about the animal. There will be an additional $60 fee added for a required Health Certificate if traveling out of the state in which they are being fostered. We will not adopt into CT, RI, NH, ME, or MA due to strict laws regarding importation of dogs into those states. If you have any issue with this, you will need to take this up with your legislatures.

Adopt Luna in TN and Receive Luna in TN's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Luna in TN's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Luna in TN's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Luna in TN, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Luna in TN's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Luna in TN was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Luna in TN’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Luna in TN’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Luna in TN’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
